U Delaware team develops prototype efficient direct ammonia fuel cell for transportation

Green Car Congress

A team at the University of Delaware has demonstrated a direct ammonia fuel cell (DAFC) prototype with a peak power density of 135 mW cm -2 at 80 ?C. The technical potential of wind and solar energy is vast, and such fuels are scalable beyond foreseeable needs. A paper on the work is published in the journal Joule. Zhao et al.

AC Propulsion sends eBox EV to Denmark for V2G research focused on buffering intermittent renewable energy

Green Car Congress

The research aims to advance integration of electric vehicles (EVs) with Denmark’s electric power grid, which has extensive wind power generation capacity. The University of Delaware (UD) has developed communication and control systems for V2G technology and has had good results on the US grid.

New highly selective and efficient catalyst for reduction of CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Delaware have developed a highly selective nanoporous silver catalyst capable of electrochemically reducing carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide with 92% efficiency. The carbon monoxide then can be used to produce synthetic fuels and chemicals. The researcher reported their findings in Nature Communications.

CMU study finds controlled EV charging can reduce generation cost, but at greater health and environmental costs depending upon the generation mix

Green Car Congress

Results from the study also suggest that with sufficient coal plant retirement and sufficient wind power, controlled charging could result in positive net benefits instead of negative. High Wind Future: In this scenario, they modified the future case to add wind plants sufficient to produce 20% of generation.

New bimetallic copper-titanium hydrogen evolution catalyst outperforms platinum by more than 2x

Green Car Congress

The two Cu-Cu-Ti hollow sites exhibit HBE values close to that of Pt. The Cu-Ti-Ti hollow site binds hydrogen too strongly. Click to enlarge. Also, a scale-up test of np-CuTi using practical electrolyzers, such as hydroxide exchange membrane-based electrolyzers, is highly desired for the implementation to commercial processes. —Lu et al.

Study finds V2G-capable electric school buses cost-effective with current technology; financial and environmental benefits

Green Car Congress

Driving behavior was estimated based on data collected by the Red Clay School District in Delaware. Social cost of carbon and level of renewable energy. The typical cost of such a bus is $110,000, and the average fuel economy is approximately 6.35 mpg, including the effects of idling on efficiency. —Noel and McCormack.
